spinkyboo, I appreciate your intent, but really....IF the major eruption that may occur at the 'Yellowstone' location should happen, there is really
nothing that modern society could do to prepare.
There would be massive starvation, not just in North America, but around the World as the dust and pumice clouds were carried by the upper winds.
This devastation would likely last for generations....not just a year or two....generations. A massive volcanic event WILL affect the entire planet,
for years and years. AND, there will be a 'domino effect', as eco-systems fail, one after the other.
Point is: We are powerless, even with all of our technology, to prevent a major volcanic eruption. IF it is large enough, it will be catastrophic.
It might not wipe out all life, but will likely devastate most species....including us.
8 swarm best anyone has come up with yet in 2004.
